Maze

MAZE Record 2025/02/20 10:49:07.webm My maze, a startling delusion, confounding explanation. Somewhere a goal, a dream, a meaning motivates me through, a dynamic labyrinth of my own making. Every choice opens another passage, creates a new array of choices. A long and convoluted passage, distracted by lies and torturous anger. Pride leads me away, a rat to his cheese. Easier ways pave comfortable, even pleasurable excursions. Rarely, leaving an opening to meaning, but often winding away in ever-expanding walls and halls of hollow treasures and moldering fame. Desperation pulls me To rise above the choices. To meditate within the dreams. To rest and trust in reality Walls and halls become highways. Blue skies illuminate the lies. Like street lights to the truth.

A gorgeous write, Kevin! You pulled me into the maze, the delusion, a rat to the cheese, the pleasurable excursions, hollow treasures, moldering fame, then to the reckoning, the meditation, the street lights of truth! A fave!
